I need 1 or 2 volunteers to help me finish off the album
download.

I’m nearly there with the pre-release version but I’ve had
a last minute idea that I want to include in the ‘Mercy
Tracks Me Down’ album.

I’ve been thinking of ways of adding more value to it and
figured that it would be useful to include the chord charts
for the songs and power point files for worship leaders to
use along with the downloads.

The problem is I only have this done for a couple of the 10
songs, some of the others are handwritten on paper.

So here’s my offer: If you (or someone you know) would like
to create the chord charts in a MS word doc and/or the Power
Point files for the lyrics then I’ll get you a free copy of
the album, both the download and the CD which will be
released later. Oh, and you’ll get a credit on the album
too!

I can email you the handwritten chords. On some of the
songs you’ll need to listen to the songs to match the words
to the chords which means you’ll need a musical ear to do
that.

If you’re interested give me a shout.

As soon as I get this done the album is good to go!

I’m  getting tantalizingly close to pressing the launch button on ‘Mercy Tracks Me Down’ the new worship album created, in part, from the songs birthed during the 20-20 project.

I’ve been road testing some of these songs during live worship events both here in Ireland and the US and it’s been great to see them working with real live people.

In fact you may have been one of them!

Anyways here’s a sample of half a dozen of the tracks all joined together in one mp3.

It’s just over 8 minutes long so make yourself a cup of your favourite beverage and enjoy!

You can click on it to play or right click and ’save as’ to download.

Oh and another thing I’m going to pay you to be my ‘record company’ if you’re interested. I’ll keep you posted on that.

Hello from a very wet Northern Ireland.

Just the other day, in our Irish summer, we had 3 weeks of rainfall in 12 hours - many places ground to a halt with flooding!

Anyways, undeterred here in the ‘lab’ I wanted to write a quick note to tell you that I’m about to press the ‘go button’ on the new studio album launch but I want to include your name on the project if you’re interested.

Let me explain.

The album title is ‘Mercy Tracks Me Down’. It’s a collection of worship songs from big guitar driven anthems to intimate prayers and you’ll be able to get it as a download for instant access as soon as I ‘go live’ with the album launch date.

Many of the songs are the final versions of some of the 20-20 project.

Now, if you’ve been on my mailing list for any time you’ll remember that project last year were I set out to write 20 songs in 20 weeks simply as a discipline to help me manage the transition that I had made into the life of a full-time musician/worship leader.

Well that process went incredibly well as a result of your feedback along the way and I want to credit everyone who helped shape those songs. Maybe you left a comment on the blog, or you sent me an email or you simply listened to those early rough drafts, all of that was incredibly helpful so here’s what I need you to do.

Go to the comments section below, leave me your name and, if you want, a web link - it could be your website, your myspace profile or your blog etc and I’ll include you in the credits section of the album download and on a special credits page on my site.

Not only will your name appear in the credits but you should get some additional visitors to your page - it’s win-win.

However there’s a deadline, I need you to do that before next Monday (25th August) if I’m going to be able to add you to the credits.

I hate imposing deadlines but sometimes it’s the only thing that forces me to actually complete tasks (I have the gift of procrastination!)

Cheers - Andy
